:*marg:
• {v.20-21} In Christ's absence we must fight for Him as well as for His people. To defy the one is to defy the other. We have brothers who are captives of the enemy, like Lot, sadly linked up with the world as he was, who must be saved "with fear, snatching them out of the fire" (Jude 23). Let us stand in the breach like Jonathan the son of Shimeah and let us demonstrate that like him by grace we bear the name "David's brothers" (cf. 2 Sam. 21:21). Like him may we have the interests of His people at heart. (“The Sons of the Giant: 2 Samuel 21:15-22” by H.L. Rossier)
